The Lone Star State

We're off to Texas in a few weeks and we're so excited! Chad served his mission in Texas and we are going to go see people from his mission. I'm always excited to go somewhere new but it is hard to want to leave your family and all the fun they will be having. I always get this way right before we leave but I know I will have a blast in Texas. This year we will be flying which will be so much easier and it will save our cars some milage. I'll try to post lots of pics this summer to keep everyone up to date.

My Beautiful Puppy!!!

Chad and I's first puppy!!! His Name is Chewy!!!! He is so dang cute!!! We got him in November!!!

DISNEYLAND!!!!

I don't know how many people would know this, but Chad and I are die hard Disney fans! we were lucky enough to go this last December with Chads siblings and it was a fantastic trip. We started off by going to Sea World, which I haven't done since I was a baby so that was fun to see all the fish and bigger animals. I had my first experience of feeding sea lions which was so much fun. Also on this trip we were able to go to the ocean and play around, the waves were to big so we couldn't really play in the ocean, I take that back, Chad played in the ocean and I was to scared. Disneyland was so much fun! it was Chad and I's first time and it was just so much fun! I just want to go back so bad! we went for two days during the middle of the week which was perfect crowd wise, nobody was there. we were able to ride all the little kids ride in an hour. Another cool part about going in October was seeing all the Halloween decorations and the villains. The firework show was all about Halloween, the music that they had timed with the fireworks was perfect. they had most the songs from night before Christmas and most of all the villain songs from all the Disney movies. so for anyone wanting to go to Disneyland soon, i advise to go during Halloween.

Chad and I's time in Washington DC while Chad did extension for his work

We had a blast in DC! It was amazing to see our nations capital and to see all the history. Every Sunday we would go see the sights, we didn't have a car so we would borrow a car or go with other people. The Mall was probably one of the coolest things to see. We went to the Mall every Sunday for a month and a half and we didn't even come close to seeing everything there. We will defiantly be going back so we can fully enjoy DC. The DC temple was so beautiful! My dad served in DC for his mission so I called him out side the temple and described everything to him. It was such a great bonding experience for my dad and I to talk about his mission, I just wish he could have been there with us. If you ever want to see something cool, just go to DC for one but then drive to the temple, and on the drive you are looking for the temple through all the trees and then all of a sudden the temple just jumps out at you. It was perfectly place so that you can't miss it when you are on the freeway. We truly loved living in DC, we will never forget those days.
